Aleeza is getting excited.

I really think Aleeza is understanding the concept of a new sister. We have been pulling out all the clothes and bedding and carseat. She hugs and kisses my tummy all the time and says" hi baby sister" It is really cute.. :) We are less than 3 weeks away. Brandon and I are getting pretty excited too. I think I am a little more ready than he is for some reason.

My new puppy and new car( I wish)

This was at the Azalea festival in Pickens last weekend. Jesse brought his new puppy and Brandon brought his new car for the show.. Yeah right.. :) Anyway Aleeza had a blast looking at all the cars and wathching all the people!

Zoo Fun!!

Aleeza loves animals so our day at the zoo was very fun. She really didn't want to go until she saw the playground with the swings.. !!

Easter Dress

Happy really late Easter

We are finallly back!!! ( I think)

yeah

Yeah we are back up and running..look for lots of updated pictures today... Thanks to Mr. Carter a man from our church and our new IT guy.. we are in good shape now with our computer.. it would take a lot to lose stuff.. but I don't want to say that too much...

Also if you dont' have a filter on your computer and you want a really good one that is fairly cheap check out www.safeeyes.com We have been wanting to get one and had tried a few but they were no good.. this is great!!! Takes time to get it all set up and adjusted to your perferences but it is good..

Any way.. things are good.. only 3 more weeks.. hopefully. I will post pictures later today.

I am trying

Just be patient the pictures are coming. We are having "technical" difficulties with our computer and when you are running three companies off of your computere that is not a good thing at all. Right now I am not able to download any pictures. I will as soon as possible..
oh yes, our house is back on the market.. yet another LONG story.. but keep praying.. we are ready. I have lots to share with pictures... just bare with me.

Aunt Susan and Uncle Malcolm

Tonight Aunt Susan and Uncle Malcolm came over for a visit before they leave to see their son and daughter in law tomorrow. They brought Aleeza her Easter present. She loves the duck, candy, moo cow key ring and of course the bubbles. Thank you for visiting us!! You all mean so much to us and my parents!! Aleeza was saying "thank you" as they were driving off and saying "bye malcolm and susan" We are working on the uncle and aunt part!!!

Day out with Mommy

Today, I was on a mission to find a Easter dress. Some of you have already heard my saga..

Last year at the end of the season I bought Aleeza the most beautiful dress for this Easter.. mind you I bought it on sale but it was not a cheap dress to begin with. I have been waiting for a year for her to wear this... well Sunday night I decided to try it on.... well, it is way too big.. I cried.. really I did. I couldn't believe it. So today... I went out and found her another Easter dress, one that will fit. It is really beautiful.. of course it is smocked and she will be wearing a Korker.. :)

Well, I heard that George's Club ( the mini train) was today but needless to say it was opening day so we just visited with old friends from the Recreation district and went to the park. Aleeza loves the swings.. :)

Just for Julie:)

Here is my pregnant picture.. about as much as you are going to get.. :)

Hehe

Afternoon at the park

We have been waiting for a nice and sunny day.... well we have had plenty of those maybe I should say a day when Brandon could actually take off to go to the park downtown. It is so nice down there. We went this past Saturday with half of Greenville I think. Aleeza loves to be outside and throughly enjoyed herself. It was nice to get out and have some Aleeza and Daddy bonding time.

update

Just some updates going on in our life.. :0 we sold our house... ( for the third time... well that is a joke) Anyway we have to be moved out by April 30... yes only 27 more days... and two weeks before the baby is due.. wow so I have lots to do. We are very excited about this. The Lord has truly answered our prayer. We have a home inpection tomorrow, that Lord willing will go better than the last. He was a bit dramatic.. :) to say the least.
Baby on the way is doing great. Brandon and I have decided to name her when we see her. We don't do secrets so I will let you in on the three names we have picked out. Savannah Marie, Madeline..something, and Olivia Kate. We just dont' know so Brandon said let's wait till she is born. Wow.. not an Abbott thing to do.
Buisness is good, a bit busy to say the least. Brandon had he framing trailer broken into this past weekend at his foremans' place. Needless to say that was a bit shocking.. they took practically everything. About 8,000 dollars worth. Well, thank the Lord we have insurance and serial numbers.. we are hoping to track the jokers down. :) we will see. That is pretty low down though... go get a job for crying out loud.
Well, everything else is good.. :)
